After an extended period of relative stability, Bitcoin has entered a renewed 
phase of volatility, with price swings accelerating to levels not seen in 
nearly a year. The sudden shift signals a potential turning point in market 
dynamics, as tightening liquidity conditions, changing investor sentiment, and 
increased trading activity drive sharper movements across the crypto market. 
How Rising Volatility Signals A Change In Market Regime Bitcoin volatility has 
returned to levels not seen in almost a year. A full-time crypto trader and 
investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has highlighted on X that ever since the tariff- 
related market dump, BTC price action has remained unusually slow, and it is 
rare to see a daily candle move of 5% or more. Over the past few weeks, the 
broader market breakdown has seen a notable change. Related Reading: Bitcoin 
Price Holds The Line, But Can Bulls Force A Break Higher? The rise in 
volatility mirrors broader instability across all other markets, which is 
definitely not a calm period for markets around the world. Meanwhile, elevated 
volatility often creates attractive opportunities for short-term traders. Daan 
emphasized that his primary focus remains on the next larger market swing and 
accumulating BTC at the lowest possible levels, with a long-term horizon in 
mind. According to investor Jelle, buying Bitcoin at the bottom of the last 
cycle is not because he anticipated the exact price, but because the market 
showed remarkable resilience following the collapse of FTX. When FTX 
collapsed, BTC sold off roughly 20%, but in a market deep into a bear phase, 
the price action began moving sideways, sweeping previous lows and eventually 
forming higher lows. After months of downside, the market had already absorbed 
so much negative information that even a major systemic shock failed to drive 
prices significantly lower. Jelle noted that these structural shifts bear 
losing strength and bulls gradually regaining control are the key signals he 
is watching for again. While there are price levels where he’s willing to take 
action, the decision ultimately depends on the broader market context. The 
focus is on bears losing momentum and bulls starting to show early signs of 
strength, because the market will eventually show its resilience. From 
Accumulation To Price Discovery Bitcoin has entered a critical accumulation 
phase that could define the next nine months of the cycle. Analyst Aralez 
stated that the price has entered a zone where the market will form a bottom, 
but growth should not be expected within 3 to 5 months of accumulation before 
the breakout. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sharpe Ratio Sinks To Historical Lows — 
Accumulation Next? However, the outlook suggests that this accumulation phase 
will eventually resolve to a decisive move higher, leading to a new all-time 
high near $130,000. After a confirmed break above $126,000, it could open the 
door to $250,000. Under this scenario, Ethereum and other high-cap altcoins 
are expected to follow BTC’s momentum. Also, altseason and Memecoin season 
will revive, showing 100 times growth in days. Featured image from Getty
